Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera news - Silence of the Lambs - 2008

Read more on:

After just one year and 172 examples,
Lambo’s lightweight baby has been canned to make way for the new LP560-4.

It was always likely to happen - with its
bored-out 5.2-litre V10, the new Gallardo is more powerful and quicker than the
lightweight Superleggera - but it’s an ignominious end for the car that
propelled JC along the Greatest Road in the World in double-quick time.

At least those 172 owners are sitting on
guaranteed collectors’ items now, though. Especially if they happened to spec
their Superleggera in white.
